Re: gears

Well it depends which gears.For you I would go with 4:10's and that should take about .4 or .5 of your 1/4.That is how much time was shaved off from people I know after getting 4:10's.

Just so you know,It will be harder to get traction and if you don't know how to launch and can't get traction your 1/4 times will suffer.I highly suggest getting posi and/or Nitto's.Getting traction mods with your gears will drop your 1/4 times even more.Your car can have all the power in the world but it won't have it's full potential unless it can get good traction.

I just think it's funny that people don't know the real meaning of the word.

I don't know what 4:10's will due for your 1/4 mile but I do know what that will do to your gas milage. 373's are a good gear for the street. In the end you won't get enough traction to make a huge impact on the 1/4 mile anyway. You'll feel like your accelerating faster though. My guess is either 373's or 4:10's `Q

Maybe HIFlow is being picky but I think he has a point. Do you know how many people(also Chevy guys) that don't under-stand POSI is just a name GM gave an LSD. They think it is some superior/untouchable rear diff or something.
